“A pure river of water of life . . . out of the throne.” “Ezekiel, Joel, and Zechariah saw living waters flowing out from Jarusalem” (Ezek. 48.; Joel 3:18; Zech. 14:8). The waters that Ezekiel saw “came out of a holy place inaccessible to flesh and blood, and had healing properties.” They healed the waters of the Dead Sea. This was a combination of literal and symbolic import. The rivers out of the literal temple in Jerusalem that literally go forth and heal the Dead Sea, represent the mystical “water of life” in Christ that heals the Dead Sea of nations (Jno. 7:38). There is “life” in “the throne of God,” but none in “the throne of the Beast,” which, when this vision is realised, has long been abolished from the earth.
